In my vision I was seeing how these majestic mountains are breaking in pieces, some in half and just destroying all around them, keep this planet in prayer.<br />This consecration to the Loving Sacred Heart of Jesus is so He can reside always in our hearts and our love ones to show His Love and protection<br /><br /><i><u>Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart</u></i><br /><br />O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.<br />I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee.<br />I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants.<br />Amen.<br />. -- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque<div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render -->

Upon closer look at the picture and enhancing it, I was able to see some faces, some appear to be Saints, one in particular is Blessed&nbsp;Francis Xavier Seelos, which I happen to have a piece of cloth touched to his relic and I also touch my jewelry to his relic. &nbsp;I will include a picture on the bottom.<br /><br />The first pictures are of the finished necklaces now available in my Etsy store&nbsp;https://www.etsy.com/shop/angelostreasures<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I have several religious images that give me inspiration while I create and I have this gorgeous statue of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal on my desk overlooking my creations and that night when I went back into the room the whole room smelled like roses, and not from any oil, like fresh roses.

Class relics of the following Saints; St. Mary Magdalene, St. Ann, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Therese, St. Gemma Galdani, &nbsp;and Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos.<br /><br />&nbsp;A special piece of cloth by Lidia, she is the coordinator for Misión Por el Amor de Dios en Todo el Mundo "For the Love of God Worldwide", &nbsp;a very special lady in Mexico that has been spreading the devotion to St. Philomena and also sent me a piece of cloth touched to a First Class relic of St. Philomena<br /><br />Recently I was blessed once again by receiving a package from a very special lady, Vivi, from France, a special package containing many blessed medals, including from Our Lady of Miraculous Medal direct from Rue du Bac Chapel, Paris, Padre Pio’s and Archangel Michaël’s direct from Italy, St. Thérèse’s direct from Lisieux and from Basilica Pontificia San Nicola and other special pieces of devotionals.<br /><br />Including a 3rd class relic, a silk touched the bones of the Saint, from St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.<br />Also included very special Blessed medals of Jesus' Holy Tunic from Argenteuil and a special card with a picture of Jesus' Holy Tunic, " Christ’s Tunic is the piece of clothing worn by Jesus during the last hours preceding his death. It was also worn during the Last Supper, the agony of Gethsemane, the arrest at the Mount of Olives, the appearance before the Sanhedrin and before Pilate and finally during the path to Calvary.<br /><br />Weaved in one piece from top to bottom, Christ’s Tunic is seamless. The Tunic collected the blood from his wounds during Christ’s Road to Calvary. Early Christian communities considered it as a relic of great importance and it was kept in the Orient for several centuries"<br />The tunic was on exhibition at the Basilica of Argenteuil<br /><br />I was blessed to have received all of these special relics and I have always touched and will continue to touch my jewelry with these special relics.<br /><br />&nbsp;The intention is to venerate these Saints and inspire you into prayer for the intercession of the Saints<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sxhP85RNrn0/V3H6MbH8qCI/AAAAAAAAL7c/SCoolSZ-Kaw4v789H_bUFW9G0UuoKllhACLcB/s1600/552581485_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sxhP85RNrn0/V3H6MbH8qCI/AAAAAAAAL7c/SCoolSZ-Kaw4v789H_bUFW9G0UuoKllhACLcB/s1600/552581485_o.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zU36kKVw9nA/V3H6Nlla88I/AAAAAAAAL7o/fXBjtiPbxRoGbSnqeXfHtrlN3TscX-x0QCLcB/s1600/807508950_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zU36kKVw9nA/V3H6Nlla88I/AAAAAAAAL7o/fXBjtiPbxRoGbSnqeXfHtrlN3TscX-x0QCLcB/s1600/807508950_o.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6gbV8hpg410/V3H6Njf5UwI/AAAAAAAAL7k/8nt88cSMdR46iS85lKR1al_V9eD5AXvzACLcB/s1600/DSC08709.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6gbV8hpg410/V3H6Njf5UwI/AAAAAAAAL7k/8nt88cSMdR46iS85lKR1al_V9eD5AXvzACLcB/s1600/DSC08709.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5piXVEjf9sc/V3H6PS_qyEI/AAAAAAAAL8A/xGRqecOYEswa39CtdwYQQOxK-QNGvYthwCLcB/s1600/Image1Aa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5piXVEjf9sc/V3H6PS_qyEI/AAAAAAAAL8A/xGRqecOYEswa39CtdwYQQOxK-QNGvYthwCLcB/s320/Image1Aa.jpg" width="223" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uypcfS0nMws/V3H6PnLH4-I/AAAAAAAAL8E/W4NcHaBgANo-5tvVnJxr573dhQln-kyaQCLcB/s1600/PADRE%2BPIO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uypcfS0nMws/V3H6PnLH4-I/AAAAAAAAL8E/W4NcHaBgANo-5tvVnJxr573dhQln-kyaQCLcB/s320/PADRE%2BPIO.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YXcvA9Yxu44/V3H6W94aIII/AAAAAAAAL8M/EbcQTFIEEQME2hRgDJzO_wG5TN1FmK-VgCLcB/s1600/RELIC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YXcvA9Yxu44/V3H6W94aIII/AAAAAAAAL8M/EbcQTFIEEQME2hRgDJzO_wG5TN1FmK-VgCLcB/s1600/RELIC.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YFVh4RlW0CY/V3H6X8A_T9I/AAAAAAAAL8Q/pFqEDzC-_d0elVZMNbvkvZSdVzFAOf3aQCLcB/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YFVh4RlW0CY/V3H6X8A_T9I/AAAAAAAAL8Q/pFqEDzC-_d0elVZMNbvkvZSdVzFAOf3aQCLcB/s320/Untitled-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E8WyfCQ2YGA/V3H6YlhwZPI/AAAAAAAAL8U/CmSgURoCp5kigJmdNEHbhb5aB8M2WaP3ACLcB/s1600/Medals1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E8WyfCQ2YGA/V3H6YlhwZPI/AAAAAAAAL8U/CmSgURoCp5kigJmdNEHbhb5aB8M2WaP3ACLcB/s1600/Medals1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render -->

Its origin may be related to Our Lady of Atocha, in Madrid, Spain, who is mentioned in the "Cantigas" of King Alphonse the Wise in the 13th century. During medieval times, the Moors held large areas and battles between the Christians and Moors were commonplace. The Moors invaded the town of Atocha. Following a certain battle, the victorious Moors held a great many Christians captive, and prevented the adult villagers from visiting as well as bringing the prisoners food or water. Fearing for the lives of the prisoners, their families stormed heaven with prayers for relief. One day, a child appeared, dressed as a pilgrim of that period, carrying a basket of food and a gourd of water. The Moors allowed the child to bring food and water each day. The prisoners were fed, but the basket and gourd remained full. The child was not known to the Christians nor to the Moors, so the people concluded that the child Jesus.<br /><br />In artwork, the Holy Child often wears a brimmed hat with a plume and a cloak or cape ornate with the St. James shell. (During the Crusades, scallop shells were the symbol of holy pilgrimages and one European variety is still referred to as "the pilgrim" or "St. James' shell." Poets have written about their beauty and artists have admired their symmetry and grace.) In his left hand, He carries a pilgrim's staff to the gourd of water is fastened, a pair of shackles, and a few spears of wheat. In his right hand, He holds a basket which generally contains bread or flowers. He either wears sandals or is barefoot. The Child is said to roam the hills and valleys, particularly at night, bringing aid and comfort to the needy, and thereby wearing out his shoes. He is usually shown seated.<br /><br />The original statue of the Holy Child of Atocha was imported from Spain and now resides in the little town of Fresnillo, Mexico. El Santo Nino de Atocha is the patron saint of those unjustly imprisoned. He also protects travelers and rescues people in danger.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s269/Leticia3_2007/Jesus/SLIDESHOW/?action=view&amp;current=7889880068_62e4cdfcff_b.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="257" src="http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s269/Leticia3_2007/Jesus/SLIDESHOW/7889880068_62e4cdfcff_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I created this beautiful and unique bracelet honoring Santo Nino de Atocha with a nostalgic feel and look to it using vintage glass pearls and a beautiful and unique wooden pendant with His image and adorned it with vintage and new rhinestones and lace.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I also used vintage and new medals including St. Padre Pio, St. Francis of Assisi, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Michael, Our Lady of Sorrows with Ecce Homo and others.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the outcome of all combined and how the pendant just came together.&nbsp;</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render -->

Thanks to his support, St. Margaret Mary’s superior also believed, and propagation of the devotion to the Sacred heart was started.<br /><br />St. Claude not only believed, but dedicated his life to propagate the devotion, always spiritually united to St. Margaret Mary and trusting her discernment.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div><b>Prayer of Confidence</b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>My God, I firmly believe that Thou watchest over all those who hope in Thee, and that we can never want for anything when we rely upon Thee in all things; therefore I am resolved to live in the future with no anxieties, and to cast all my cares upon Thee . . . Let others seek their happiness in their wealth or their talents; let them trust in the purity of their life, &nbsp;the severity of their mortifications, the number of their good works, the fervor of their prayers: "For Thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope."</b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>As for me, Lord, in my very confidence lies all my hope. Such confidence can never be in vain. "No one has ever hoped in Thee and has been confounded." Therefore I am assured of my eternal happiness, because I firmly hope for it, and all my hope is in Thee. "In Thee, O Lord, I have hoped; let me never be confounded." I know, alas! I know all too well that I am frail and changeable; I know the power of temptation against the strongest virtue. I have seen stars fall from heaven and pillars of the firmament totter; but these things do not alarm me as long as I hope in Thee. I am sheltered from all misfortune, and I am sure that my hope will endure, for I rely upon Thee to sustain my unfailing hope.&nbsp;</b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>Finally, I know that I can never hope too much in Thee, and that I will never receive less than I have hoped for from Thee. Therefore, I hope that Thou wilt sustain me against my evil inclinations; that Thou wilt protect me against the most furious assaults and cause my weakness to triumph over my most powerful enemies. I hope that Thou wilt love me forever, and that I will love Thee also, unceasingly. And to carry my hope all at once as far as it can go, I hope for Thee Thyself from Thee, O my Creator, for time and for all eternity.&nbsp;</b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>Saint Claude de La Colombière</b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render -->
